An incredible introduction to Japanese Whisky at an affordable price. The amazing flavor of spiced wood and notes of vanilla do not disappoint. This is my go-to whisky to share with friends who have never experienced a Japanese Single Malt. For the truly special occasions I bring out the Yamazaki 18, but for everything else this one is always a top choice.

I heard Japanese single malts were exquisite and i must say, its true. It tastes like it should cost a lot more. This should be shared with very close friends and family and they will look upon you with awe lol. I say that jokingly, but in all seriousness; it’s fanstastic! Now I have to try more.

Thankful I was able to get this shipped to Texas, which is becoming more difficult. Took longer than expect, but I wanted this original boxing to add to my set

An amazing whiskey. I treated it like I do my single malt scotches. First taste, neat: Extremely smooth with an accent on the oak and a bit of caramel. I added about 2 mL. water to the standard dram. The whiskey immediately blossomed. The caramel came forward, the oak was present but subdued and it finished with dark cherry. Beautiful stuff!
